Northbound 405 Freeway will be closed overnight tonight, Monday

WEST LOS ANGELES - Northbound traffic on the San Diego (405) Freeway will be blocked just after midnight tonight and Monday night, and remain closed until 5 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, Metro officials announced today.

Repaving and restriping work will close the northbound 405 at the Santa Monica (10) Freeway interchange. Traffic may enter the 405 north at the Santa Monica Boulevard onramp, or ramps north of there at Wilshire Boulevard or near Sunset Boulevard.

Traffic on the 405 heading from Culver City towards the San Fernando Valley will be diverted to east or west Interstate 10. The recommended detour is westbound 10 to the first exit -- northbound Bundy Avenue -- and then use Santa Monica Boulevard to its freeway onramp.

Traffic on the 10 is recommended by Metro to use the Overland Avenue offramps and take National and Sepulveda boulevards to the 405 onramps at Santa Monica or Wilshire.
